Everyday I'l go to bed and I'll pray and bow my head. Then he'll take my gentle hand and guide me on my way.

I can not run I can not hide for you see he'll always find. So I go on my way praying to God for one last day.

And so this plea I finally make, but to him my life he'l take. For with him I always stay and he kills me in everyway.

And so i pray for just one day that i can just be, but he doesent care and decides to tourchier me.

I'm out for rent to anyone that wants me in their bed, and my daddy gets paid good money at least thats what he said.

They can do whatever they want abuse, slap, rape, or molest. But my daddy tells me it's only for the best. So now everyday before I pray I ask God as I plea;

PLEASE NO MORE TOURCHIER!!!! CAN'T YOU JUST TAKE ME?

All I can say is that I hope this is a piece of fiction in your case. It's sad that this happens to some children, but I know that Jesus hears their cries, and that He cries with them.

I'm going to give some risky advice, take it or leave it.
Praying to an outer force can't solve your problems, ever.  Jesus can shed all the tears in the world, and it won't help.  Try "praying" to a material being, like a police officer or a teacher.  They can help you in your situation.
And for the sake of sanity, keep writing.  ^_^

  Amazing poem. Amazing that I'm so caught up in my selfishness that I don't see these horrible things happening to people everywhere...Never stop praying, never stop....

Yes, I'm going to have to agree with Allan on the part of going up to a police man and whatnot. If you want to truly solve things....do so.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I can't say anything about this, it brings to much pain to my heart to think about it. I will just say the form of the poem was good...

Mandi dear, if this is true to life, I urge you strongly to speak to an adult that you can trust and confide in. Do you have a teacher, a counsellor, a member of the church, a close family member outside this situation that you can go to? We take the health and welfare of our members seriously. Please do e-mail me directly if I can help you talk through anything. Many hugs to you, and please let us know if you are OK.

Best wishes,
/Kit

If this is really going on, you need to tell someone, as the others have said.  I believe that God can help you, but you also need to help yourself.  Please, respect yourself and tell someone that can help.  You have written this very powerfully!

I certainly hope that this is fiction. If not, I would urge you to go to the police. I hate to say it but apears that god has failed you. You have to take things into your own hands and go to the police now.

Very emotional poem...If this is true, I have to agree with the others that you should talk to the police or another adult, teacher...

Ouch... if this is real, you need to do what everyone else has already said. This can't go on.

Oh wow. This is the first I really remember reading this. Father's like that belong in prison. Uck, I'm saddened, and disgusted. It makes me really mad that this could happen to anyone. She will definitly not be forgotten.

Good poem, but I'm completely disgusted with the topic, I sincerely hope this is fiction.  All I can tell you, is even though it may seem completely impossible, never loose your faith, it may be the only thing you have left.  Good luck, keep us posted
